UNITED STATES FRANK L. BROWNE, OF RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA.

HEATER.

Application filed January 14, 1919.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK L. Bnownn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Red Cloud, in the county of lVebster and State of Nebraska, have invented new and useful Improvements in Heaters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an auxiliary heating attachment for stoves, furnaces, etc., and has for its object to provide a duct arranged in close proximity to the stove and to the smoke pipe therefor, where by the duct will be heated from the stove and from the products of combustion passing through the stove pipe and a draft created which automatically takes cold air from the floor delivering the same to the upper part of the room and forcing the hot air down from the ceiling, thereby equalizing the temperature between the upper and lower portions of the room, and as a consequence more perfectly heating the room with a less consumption of fuel.

The foregoing objects may be accomplished by a simple construction, combination and arran ement of parts such as is illustrated by the drawings.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a view illustrating the application of the improvement.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view approximately on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view approximately on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

In the drawings I have illustrated the improvement in connection with an ordinary heating stove and with a smoke stack therefor.

The stove is indicated by the numeral 5 and the smoke stack by the numeral 6. On the smoke stack, and at suitable points on the stove are arranged clips which preferably comprise metallic bands having their outer ends rounded upon themselves and provided Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 271,022.

with notches at the confronting edges thereof, said notches designed to interengage one in the other so as to connect the ends of the clips or hands. These clips or bands are deslgned to secure on the pipe 6 and on the stove 5 a duct in the nature of a pipe 8. The lower end of the pipe is disposed near the floor on which the stove rests and the said lower end is cut at an angle as indicated by the numeral 9. The upper end of the duct 8 terminates near the seat through which the smoke pipe passes.

By the arrangement a draft in the duct 8 is automatically created so that the cold air enters the mouth 9 of the duct and is conducted therethrough and delivered to the ceiling, forcing the hot air downward from the ceiling, thereby equalizing the temperature between the upper and lower portions of the room.

The duct may be applied to any heating apparatus, such as a furnace or the like, and it is though from the foregoing description, when taken in connection with the drawings the simplicity and the advantages of the ap parat-us will be apparent.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is z- An air heater attachment for stoves and for the smoke pipes thereof, comprising a pipe member arranged on the stove pipe and on the stove, spring clips having notched confronting edges arranged on the stove pipe and on the stove and surrounding the pipe member for securing the same on the smoke pipe and stove, said pipe member being of a less length than the combined height of the stove and smoke pipe, and having its lower end terminating above the floor on which the stove rests and the said end being cut upon an angle to form a mouth for the entrance of the air to pass therethrough.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

FRANK L. BROWNE.
